This past Sunday I was watching Sunday Morning on CBS when they had a very interesting story on office chairs, and how the office hierarchy used to be determined by the different chairs that people were sitting in. (View the whole story here: Please Be Seated – Daniel Sieberg takes a look at the new generation of office chairs that are threatening to usurp the supremacy of the Aeron chair, which has held the title for 15 years.) We have the Herman Miller Mirra chairs in our office, but I did not realize what a large part the Aeron chair played in defining the current style of chairs that have become so popular in today’s office. Here are just a few of our favorite office chair designs that we have seen recently:
